[Solved] Problems of iPad/iPhone Recovery Mode

There are 3 modes on iPhone: normal mode, recovery mode and DFU mode. Many Apple user may know that once we put iPhone/iPad in recovery mode, it will not automatically get back to the normal mode. Actually, putting iPhone in recovery mode is most common procedure and you will be asked to put it in recovery by many jailbreak expert in many situations. If you cannot upgrade or restore your iPhone/iPad/iPod touch, you can put your iOS device into recovery mode, then extract and restore data from iTunes backup.

Part 1. How to Put iPad/iPhone in Recovery Mode? 

  • Turn off your idevice from the computer, and leave it off. Simply hold down the Power button and wait iPad/iPhone to completely shut down before continuing.
  • Plug in your device's USB cable to a computer with iTunes. When reconnected, your device should turn on. If the low battery screen appears, charge your device for a few minutes and try the process again.
  • Hold down the Home button on your device as you connect the USB cable. After a few moments, you will see the "Connect to iTunes" screen on your device. When you see the screen you can release the Home button.
  • Run iTunes. iTunes will display a message stating that a device in recovery mode has been connected. From there you can proceed to restore your iOS device.

Part 2. How to get iPad/iPhone out of Recovery Mode.

I guess lots of Apple users encountered problems that iPhone/iPad stuck in recovery mode. One of iPhone 5 user said at Apple discussion, “After updating to ios8 my iPhone 5 is stuck in recovery mode and asking to be connected to iTunes. After connecting, iTunes is now re-downloading ios8 and projecting 6 hours to download. Anyone else with this issue?"                                                              
Hold both power button & home button for 10 seconds. Once the device shuts off let go of the power button and keep holding the home button for 10 more seconds. The screen will remain black, plug it up to iTunes and see if it detects your device. If that does not work hold both buttons to make device shut down, once screen is off hold the home button while plugging it up to PC. Do not let go of home button till recovery screen shows up on your device.

How to Transfer and Save Text Messages from iPhone to Computer

Before entering the topic of “transfer and save text messages from iOS 8 devices to computer”, I have to roughly say something about new features of text messages on iOS 8 device. Since Apple released iOS 8.1, seemingly many of the updating problem will be constantly solved. Undoubtedly, we have benefited from apple’s new thing. The headline functions of iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite is their ability to share phone calls and text messages. The other two features we may notice is storing photos and videos (beta 3) and automatically delete messages. Along with several improvements to group message management, there are now options to remove stored messages after a set period of time of 30 days or one year, which will allow users who have extensive iMessage threads to free up valuable space. iOS 8 beta 3 added a new option to automatically save the quick audio and video messages.

However, here comes a problem. What if important messages automatically deleted while you thought they are saved in your iDevice as usual. What if you didn’t have the messages backed up? As we all known, text messages are usually very important as they may have witnessed and recorded an important moment in your life, or even give evidence for business transaction. Immediate and regular backup is very important and useful. Apple iTunes and iCloud did great job. The best way to preserve it is to save and transfer it to your computer or print it out. In this condition. Follow the way as below to transfer iPhone text messages to PC.

Way 1: E-mail Text Messages to Yourself
If you only care about getting the messages into an email (and don't need the time and data information) first issue, the easiest solution is this:
Open the SMS message that you want to transfer and extract to computer

  • Hold your finger on it until "Copy/More" appears.
  • Tap the "Copy" button to copy the message text to the clipboard. 
  • Open the "Mail" app on your iPhone, enter your email address and paste the text messages you just copied.
  • Tap "Send," open the email on your desktop computer and print it out on your local printer. 


Way 2: Make a Screenshot for Text Messages
If you swipe left to reveal the time and datestamps, then hold home and press power you should take a screenshot. Take enough to show all your messages that you are interested in, and you can then wither just sync your photos to your PC or Mac, or even get clever and stitch them together into a single large image. Then the text messages will be saved on your Mac/PC as a picture. You can view it on computer or print it out on paper which is at your choice.

A user on AskDiffernt said, "I have a court case and have text messages on my iPhone I need to transfer to my iPad email for evidence. Every time I try it doesn't work, it will send them to my iMessage but not my email. I need to print them out How do I do this? "As an evidence, only text messages is obviously not convincing. Still because you clearly can edit images. Use AirPlay mirroring to your Mac, and use Quicktime to record a video of the window as you slowly scroll down the list, occasionally left swiping to show timestamps.

Way 3: Free iTunes Backup Extractor
Yolisoft iTunes Backup Extractor is an absolutely free tool which is specially designed for extracting data from iTunes backup. You can easily save your messages on computer and print it out with a few clicks. The most significant advantage of iTunes backup extractor is that you can easily transfer and extract text messages from iTunes backup to computer even if you lost your device or your device has problems of connection. Before transfering your messages, one more thing you need to do is backing up your iOS device with iTunes.

Download the Free iTunes Backup Extractor, you can search “yolisoft itunes extractor” on Google. I guess it is easy to find. Install and run it on your computer.

 

After installing and run iTunes backup extractor, it will automatically check all the iTunes backups on your computer. Select one you need to transfer and tap “Next” to the following step.
In the third step, you can specify file types you need to extract from iTunes backup. Or you can select all. If you have a large amount of files on your iTunes backup, you’d better choose messages/messages attachments to save scanning time.
Preview and transfer text messages from iTunes backup. In the scanning result, you may find the messages you want to transfer to computer, select them and click “Recover” to save wherever on your computer.

Apple Face Adverse Conditions -- iPhone 6/6 Plus Issues

Apple banned in Russia because Apple CEO Tim Cook announces he is gay?

According to a report that not be verified by international main stream media published by a local News Site on Tuesday, the authorities may ban the Apple iPhone and Apple iPad beginning on New Year’s Day (January 1st, 2015). There's speculation that it is the result of Cook’s coming out. Soon afterwards, a Russian monument to Apple co-founder Steve Jobs which is the shape of an iPhone was dismantled.

In Russia, gay propaganda and other sexual perversions among minors are prohibited by law," ZEFS said, noting that the memorial had been "in an area of direct access for young students and scholars." Seemingly it makes sense that the authority made that decision.


Another version is that the iCloud is the chief culprits. The new law will ban any device that has the iCloud software inside. The reason is that the data saved in iCloud is not stored locally. The servers employed by Apple are based in the U.S., not Russia. This is not a law that was created to harm Apple specifically, as it applies to all online services including social networks. Russia could even decide to enforce the ban at the retail level, which also would be not good for Apple. Those in Russia who currently own an iPhone 6/6 plus or iPad/ iPad that supports iCloud, might have to put up with relentless searches from the authorities.



iPhone 6 & iPhone 6 Plus Issue Continue

Tough apple successfully attracted people’s attention and the tow phones indeed brings a great many of amazing new features which received rave reviews, including bigger displays, new specs, and iOS 8, Apple’s new brand iOS operating system. But they are not without any few bugs and foibles.

1.iPhone 6 Plus Bendgate


One issue that has caused troubles for some iPhone 6 user is the so-called “Bendgate”. Apple said “Bendgate” affected 9 iPhone 6 units--The fact is there are around 300 bent iPhones. Although Apple immediately issued a statement saying the iPhone 6 and iPhone Plus are made from the hard metal titanium steel. Obviously this function has not found favour with all Apple fans.

2.iPhone 6 Reachability Problems

The useful functionlity of “Reachablility” of iPhone 6 which enables apple users to reach the top row of apps on the home screen, However, particularly in the case of the phablet-sized iPhone 6 Plus, many users have to operate the device with two hands, which absolutely makes reachability completely useless.

A part of iPhone 6 owner have the experience an issue that the keyboard disappears completely with unknown reason. It seems there doesn’t have a direct resolution for this issue, which will bother iPhone 6 users for a certain period of time.

4.iOS 8 updating issues


It is wisdom for those who keep their old system and choose to skip the hot new iOS 8. A great many of users respond iOS issues. One of the most irritating of these is that they lost their data after updating iOS 8. As some experts suggests, you’d back your iPhone 6/6 plus up and extract the iPhone backup files before updating to avoid any unnecessary data loss. The good news is that Apple released a surprise iOS 8.1.1 update into its beta program to fix the issues on Monday.


 


iOS 8.1.1 should have a fairly lengthy list of bug fixes on board but that doesn’t mean that it’s going to have a fix for every single problem plaguing the iPhone and iPad. We can’t say what issues will get left behind but we’re pretty certainly that at least someone is dealing with problems on iOS 8.1 and below will see those problems make the transition to iOS 8.1.1 and perhaps, beyond.
